The replication package contains the following folders and files:

(1) replication_code.do file, which loads the dataset, performs all data analysis, and generates all tables and figures in the paper's manuscript and online appendix
(2) pinto_rickard_vreeland_2024.dta file, which is the entire dataset analyzed in the manuscript. The dataset is organized at individual-wave level, with two variables numericalid and wave identifying each respondent and survey wave, respectively. 
(3) this README.txt file

To execute the replication, simply open ./code/replication_code.do with STATA, uncomment line 17 and replace it with the path to your local directory where replication_code.do is located, then execute the do file in its entirety. 

The replication package was created and tested using STATA MP 18.5, but should also work with STATA version 16.0 or older.
